In this workshop, you will program a robot from wherever you are! You will use a version of Snap! called Netsblox to connect remotely to a robot called the Finch. You will learn some basics about how to write programs for the Finch, and then you will create your own Finch project. You can make the Finch dance, draw, or respond to its surroundings.
Akos Ledeczi, Brian Broll
